In season 1 episode 5 of Ty Breaker, titled "When Two Families Merge," interior designer and host Ty Pennington helps a blended family create their dream home. The family consists of a couple who recently got married, each with their own two children, and they have decided to merge their families and move into a new home together.

The episode starts with Ty meeting the family and learning about their individual needs and styles. He quickly realizes that he needs to bring the two different design styles together to create a cohesive and comfortable space for everyone. The couple has different tastes in decor, with one preferring modern and the other wanting a more traditional feel. The four kids also have their own ideas, which adds another layer of complexity to the project.

As Ty gets to work, he takes into account each family member's needs and preferences. He creates a floor plan that maximizes the space and creates private areas for each child while still allowing for family time together.

Ty decides to create a luxurious master bedroom with a comfortable sitting area and a spa-like ensuite bathroom. The couple is thrilled to have their own private oasis in the home.

Another challenge of the episode is finding storage solutions for the family's belongings. With six people in the house, there are a lot of items to store, and Ty needs to find creative ways to utilize space. He opts for built-in shelving and storage units to keep things organized and tidy.
